Max1636 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Trying to decide on the SSD setup in my new computer, using Samsung 840 Series drives. For the same price of getting one 250GB SSD I can get two 120GB SSD's. It's 10GB less but running them in a RAID0 configuration would give me better performance I would think, so should I do that?

walwalka Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Yes the access put-through will be higher with RAID SSD's , how noticeable is the question. The samsung 840 pros are already the fastest drive on the market, depending the rest of you system spec? I personally don't feel that either option is a bad one, I would go with the single drive. 2010 Honda Civic LX / Deck: Kenwood DDX371 / Front Highs: Crescendo RTS-1 / Front Mids: Silver Flute 6.5's / 4 channel: DC Audio 90.4 / Sub: Fi 15in SP4v2 / Sub amp: Taramps HD 5000 / Power wire: Knukonceptz OFC 1/0 / Deadener: Audio Technix 60 mil / Batteries: XS Power D5100R / Rear bank: TBD / Alternator: Singer 240a hairpin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shogen Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I vote single. I'd rather have the extra bay used for storage. ;-) Pioneer Premier P880PRS ll Front Stage: US Acoustics 4060 - Random speakers currently ll Sub Stage: Crescendo BC3500D - 15" Xcon sealed @ 3.28 cubes ll Electrical: - Kinetik HC1800(front) NEW***DieHard P-2(rear) beaker- I know this sounds like a lot of anime bullshit, but it is true.

Well it's an Octacore AMD System, using the 8350 CPU, and an Asus Sabertooth 990FX 2.0 Motherboard. I was only going to be using the onboard memory controller.

RCP Audio Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Im going to say a single drive aswel, I dont think the difference you will notice will be enough to notice, and we all know its only 10gb now, but you will manage to need it lol. no matter how much i say i wont dump shit on my ssd i always do lol PSN: Rcp_soundz Good rule of thump is go by what fuse size is being used in these amps. The higher the more amperage it pulls, this is what I look at. I'll stick a 300 amp fuse in a potato and sell it to you for $2k. 1991 Mazda 323VERY small build thread here: http://www.stevemead...23-small-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max1636 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 To avoid starting another topic I also noticed the next size drive from the 250 is a 256, but it's the 'Pro' Series which claim to have write speeds up to 520MB/sec, as opposed to only 240MB/sec for the 250GB. Would I see a significant speed difference between the two? There is about a $60 difference.

walwalka Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 The Pro is what you want, it's well worth the price difference. I have a pro in both my desktop and laptop, drive is insane fast. 2010 Honda Civic LX / Deck: Kenwood DDX371 / Front Highs: Crescendo RTS-1 / Front Mids: Silver Flute 6.5's / 4 channel: DC Audio 90.4 / Sub: Fi 15in SP4v2 / Sub amp: Taramps HD 5000 / Power wire: Knukonceptz OFC 1/0 / Deadener: Audio Technix 60 mil / Batteries: XS Power D5100R / Rear bank: TBD / Alternator: Singer 240a hairpin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shogen Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I mean..... Is $60 gonna kill your budget?
